Keep a roof over Cooper's head in Auckland
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Cooper needs $3,950 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Auckland.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,950.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I've 4 children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working weekend shifts, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $3,950 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,150
• Late fees and court costs: $160
• Utilities in arrears: $220
• First month of rent as a buffer: $420
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Auckland.
Thank you. If you're in Auckland I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
you're not alone, Cooper. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Auckland.
Wishing you the best, Cooper. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Dayton.
Sending strength, Cooper. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Hope you get there. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Praying for you, Cooper. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. All the best.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Tarkwa.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Auckland
Sending love, Cooper. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
wishing you the best, Cooper. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Stay strong, Cooper. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Yogyakarta.
so sorry you're going through this, Cooper. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
take care. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Please keep us posted. Love from Onitsha.
thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours.
Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 28 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Bekasi
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Cooper. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
